WOODDRIVER's Picks for NFL Week 7

   Week 6 recap:  In my confidence pool I was 10-4-1 with 105 pts.  21st place for the week, 15th place for the season (in a field of 36).  I went 7-8 against the spread, 46-45 for the season.  My survivor pick actually tied, so I live on another week against two others.  Three competitors went out with the Dallas upset.

   I hope to do better this week.

   16 points:   Falcons @ Ravens.  Flacco might be able to beat his record performance last week against the porous Falcons defense.  Take the Ravens -6.5.  The Ravens are my survivor pick this week.

   15 points:  Panthers @ Packers.  Panthers will be out of ammunition and emotion from last week.  Take the Packers -6.5.

   14 points:  49ers @ Broncos.  Niners will flatten out on short rest going into Mile High.  Take the Broncos -6.5.

   13 points:  Jets @ Patriots.  Jets will hang in against the depleted Pats, but Geno Smith will find a way to lose, and his teammates know it.  Pats will win, but take the Jets +9.5.

   12 points:  Seahawks @ Rams.  Seattle's not so dominant on the road, I trust them to win, but not to cover.  Take the Rams +6.5.

   11 points:  Bengals @ Colts.  Cincy won't have a chance to win this one in overtime.  Take the Colts -3.5.

   10 points:  Chiefs @ Chargers. San Diego's hot streak continues.  Take the Chargers -4.5.

   9 points:  Giants @ Cowboys.  Without Victor Cruz, New York won't have the firepower to force a Dallas letdown.  Cowboys will win, but take the Giants +5.5.

   8 points:  Browns @ Jaguars.  "Johnny Football" will have to watch from the sidelines as Brian Hoyer leads another Cleveland victory.  Take the Browns -5.5

   7 points:  Vikings @ Bills.  At least one team in New York was smart enough to bench their young quarterback.  Take the Bills -3.5.

   6 points:  Dolphins @ Bears.  Miami's difficulties traveling north continue.  Take the Bears -3.5.

   5 points:  Texans @ Steelers.  Pittsburgh in prime time after an embarrassing division loss.  Take the Steelers -3.5.

   4 points:  Saints @ Lions.  New Orleans can't be as bad as they've played lately.  Take the Saints straight up and + 2.5.

   3 points:  Titans @ Redskins.  Unless RG3 is back, I have no faith in the team from Washington DC.  Take the Titans straight up and +4.5.

   2 points:  Cardinals @ Raiders.  Superstition aside, I expect Carson Palmer to put on a clinic against the team that traded him. Take the Cardinals -3.5.
